PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values.

The teacher had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.

      Yes. When they’ve committed premeditated criminal conspiracy and that criminal act is premeditated religious assassination.

        I see you’re privy to some information that the media doesn’t have, everywhere says he wanted to know where that teacher was to scare him. Where did you gather the information from that they were co-conspirators fully aware of the plan?

          Well I’m not a lawyer but what does “premeditated criminal conspiracy” mean to you? If it was just pointing at someone why were they charged at all?
